A lot of fans that were around years ago during the transition away from Carcass are aware of their behavior and even Angela Gossow (former vocalist) has basically admitted in interviews that they sold out (they weren’t ever really an underground band though... so you’re more like a commercial pop group, uhh) to make a living. To me, there’s nothing wrong with being up-front that it’s about the money and if you’re enjoying the music so be it but nobody into metal is surprised by this kind of behavior by bands doing the same money grubbing things that bands making orders of magnitude more money are doing. I think that’s the most shameful part of it all honestly - if you wanted to make money playing music there’s way more options than metal. Heck, the former keyboard player for Emperor quit metal completely, cut his hair, and did fine in Norway with dance music as a solo artist. I think the guys in Beherit literally went to dance music too.
